Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 I See You 

With a hint of resignation, the man let out a soft sigh. “Honestly, it’s self-destructive.” 

“Those who are seriously ill should stay in the hospital if they want to continue their treatment.” 

“If they don’t want to be in a hospital, they should find a peaceful place, maybe in the mountains or by clear waters, to spend the rest of their days tranquilly.” 

“Why would they make the long journey to Adania without their personal doctor? Don’t they realize how fragile human life can be?” 

A female intern next to him rolled her eyes. “How can you be so certain that they’re just being reckless?” 

“What if they have an unfulfilled wish? And they’re here in Adania to fulfill it?” 

“Why wouldn’t they bring their doctor along then?” 

“Perhaps they have their reasons.” 

The female intern retorted with another eye-roll. “If they’re meeting loved ones for their final moments, they probably wouldn’t want a personal doctor around.” 

“Don’t be so judgmental.” 

With that, the female intern turned and walked away. 

Lost in thought, Cherise barely noticed the world around her until an excited voice snapped her back to reality. 

“Good news!” 

A young nurse, clutching a notebook, rushed into the duty room. “Dr. King from our hospital has successfully saved the patient!” 

“This VIP will soon be transferred to our hospital. The Director has instructed us to take shifts in the ICU for the patient. We need three volunteers. Who wants to go?” 

The male doctor, still chewing gum, stepped back. “I’m not interested in serving the wealthy.” 

“Me neither. 

“I’d rather not.” 

“And I… 

As everyone declined, the nurse’s desperate eyes settled on Lucy. “Lucy… maybe you?”

Lucy gave an exaggerated eye-roll and turned to Cherise, who nodded in agreement 

“Let’s go then 

For Cherise, it didn’t matter much. 

She had simply sought out Lucy for some emotional support that evening 

There wasn’t much difference between staying in the ICU ward and being in the duty room. 

Soeing Cherise’s agreement, Lucy sighed resignedly. “Alright, we’ll do it your

With that, she gestured to Cherise and headed to the elevator

The place was bustling with people Cherise, being an extra pair of hands, wood quite far away 

While she couldn’t see the VIP’s face clearly as they passed, she was certain it was a woman.

“I have a friend here.” 

Lucy responded, a frown appearing on her face. 

“Isn’t your friend a medical student too?” 

A male intern interjected. “Both of you could take shifts, bond, and learn something valuable.” 

Lucy shot him a sharp look. 

Seeing that Lucy did not outright refuse, the nurse hurriedly approached, holding her hand. “Lucy, please.” 

“We just need three people. With you, your friend, and one more, we’d be set.” 

“Besides, the VIP’s condition is a rare case. As medical students, it would be an enlightening experience.”
